The Alpha

Chapter 4

I felt him near. My mate.

"Cece?"

I lifted my head towards him, trying to locate the person behind that sweet smell.

"Alpha."

"Shh."

"What?"

I turned around and held a finger to my lips.

"What's going on?"

"Shit Jackson, I said shut up."

He looked at me for a fraction of a second, then shook his head. His eyes held a glint of humor, and as he turned, I saw his cheeks lifted.

"Are you laughing?"

"What? No."

"Jackson."

"Cece."

"I can smell him."

"Smell who."

"Him!"

"Him who?"

"Jackson I'm serious."

"I am too. I don't know what the hell your talking about."

"Jackson, my.... Mate," I whispered the last word. His eyes widened and I only nodded. I needed to locate him. He was nearby. I started following his scent, not knowing where it would lead me. But I followed. I groaned as I saw that the scent led me directly to a shopping mall. I sighed. I hate malls. But my mate was in there. I had to find him.

"Cece, maybe we should go back and bring more men with us," Jackson said.

"No. We're good."

"Cece," he sighed.

"I'm not leaving without my mate Jackson."

As I walked into the Famous Footwear store, the scent got stronger. All of a sudden, I felt him. I turned around and saw the most beautiful guy I had ever seen. He had light brown hair, spiked up. A beautiful smile displaying a dimple on his right cheek. His eyes were such a gorgeous green color. I started making my way towards him, keeping my eyes on him. He felt my presence and he looked up, smiling at me in the process. I was mesmerized. My mate was perfect. I stopped midwalk when I noticed a girl run up to him, and give MY mate a kiss! My fists began to clench up, and I could feel my wolf wanting to rip that girl apart, to keep her away from my mate. I started stomping towards them but Jackson held me back.

"Cece, what the hell are you doing?!"

"About to rip that girls arms for touching MY mate," I growled.

"Don't be stupid Cece. He's human! Your gonna risk exposing us," he hissed.

Human?

I sniffed the air, and I felt myself stiffen. My mate was human?!

"Cece, we gotta go."

"Wait."

"Cecilia-"

"I said wait.",

"Seriously, Cece-"

"Dammit Jackson, I said wait!" I finally yelled, turning around to face him.

"Your pack is under attack," he finally managed out.
